Try Aiven PostgreSQL for free

We’ve been getting feedback from people wanting to try out our service on a trial basis and we’ve decided to automatically give all new users free trial credits.

New users will automatically get US$10 worth of free credits to try our database services. We also no longer require a credit card to be put on file before letting you spin up your own databases.

These user credits will allow you to try our hobbyist level plans for roughly two weeks (or longer if you power off your instances when you don’t need them.)

After your credits have been used up your database will stay up and running if you have added your credit card to the service. Otherwise we’ll automatically power down your database when the credits run out but you can restore it by just entering card details.

Note that you can use these credits for any plan type meaning you can even try out our more powerful business or premium plans if you’d like.

We hope these changes will make it easier for you to try out our highly performant, highly available next generation database services. So, what are you waiting for? Sign up now to for a free trial!
